I’m running tumbleweed with Plasma 6 Wayland on a laptop with Intel HD Graphics 4000. It’s not a very powerful integrated video chip, but video performance works OK on Windows as far as I can remember.
On tumbleweed, online video seems to hang a lot. YouTube is particularly horrible, anything over 480p is unplayable (and even 480p itself isn’t great sometimes). I tried out peertube (sample video, 720p: PDP-7 type 340 display characters - toobnix ) and it’s a little better, but it still hangs and stutters a lot.
I went to Firefox’s about:support and hardware acceleration is enabled for webgl. Regarding video, this is what I saw:
h264 video has hardware support, so I don’t understand why HD video lags so much. I just tried playing videos on ungoogled chromium and the performance was fine, so I’m assuming this is a Firefox-specific problem. Any ideas?
Hi, have you tried Plasma 6 on X11? I also experience poor performance with Wayland on old hardware.
I have. I think it’s a little better, but it’s still unusable. And Chromium doesn’t have the performance issue on Wayland anyway, so I think this is specific to Firefox. Maybe some package is missing?
Search on page about:config for ‘hardware’.
media.hardware-video-decoding.enabled
media.hardware-video-decoding.force-enabled
Provide more info. You need some Mesa packages from Packman to get H.264 (avc1) acceleration.

For some low-power mobile CPUs there is limited video decoding support, while none of the desktop CPUs have this limitation.

why not set it to true/enabled?
Check

I’d prefer to understand why it is set to false in the first place.

Yoy can install up to Core i7-3687U. But this is Ivy Bridge - no hw VP9 decode, no AVX2.
Try to install xf86-video-intel and intel-opencl.
Libvulkan_intel came from Packman - for what?
You can download videos from Youtube & others in AVC (H.264) format to watch them offline. Youtube at 480p often uses AV1 format, which is much heavier than VP9.
You can install addon into browsers to get H.264 video instead of other formats.
Full hw upgrade is recommended.
